We meet Benjamin Gallein in mid-March, at 28 degrees and 72% humidity . It's not exactly the typical climate for his regular place of work, the "Votum" restaurant in Hanover, which has been awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide . Our meeting point is the “Deer Hunter Restaurant” on the golf course of the Constance Hotel “ Belle Mare Plage ” in Mauritius . The “ Constance Festival Culinaire” is taking place here for the 17th time , a week full of culinary competitions, dinners and international exchanges between top chefs, highly decorated pastry chefs and journalists. In two days, around 60 guests will eat a 4-course menu from Gallein. The main components were specifed - but the composition and elaboration is up to the guest chefs.
